Happy Birthday To You

Hi everyone, well I'm back on the computer after a long recovery after my stint in hospital. It's a slow process and I have good and bad days.(More good than bad.) So I thought I would post a card that I had made for my daughters friends birthday.

Cardstock:Pretty in Pink and Whisper White

DSP:Walk in the Park

Ink:Stazon Black

Pens:Tombow-723,813 (Not SU),SU Marker-Budk Blossom & Creamy Caramel.

I hope you enjoy seeing this card and may give you inspiration to make you own.

Thanks for looking.

Seasons Greetings

Christmas is fast approaching us and whilst having visitors I made a couple of cards for them
to take back to the U.K. The Christmas card classes I went to at my upline Marelle's house came in handy, as I sent them back with my daughter ready to be posted to family over there.
Here are a couple of examples for you to see.If anyone wishes to have a workshop to get some Christmas
cards done for their friends or family just drop me a line @ mmarchant71@yahoo.com. I will be available mid November thru till mid December.

I had some inspiration from Kirsty Browns blog for this http://kirstyscardnscrap.wordpress.com/page/3/ card, I just love this new Christmas ribbon from the new mini catalogue which you still have until 30th of November if you wish to purchase some for yourself. In the catalogue you will also find the lovely Designer paper range Ski Slope which I also used for this card.

The next example is still using papers from the same Ski Slope range and going for a more vibrant look. The stamp set used is Snow Swirled. I do like using Real Red which ties in well.

Thank you

I made this Thank You card for an upcoming Workshop host.
I made this straight away as I'm going into hospital next week and wanted to ensure I try to catch up with everything b4 being laid up in bed.
I used the new Walk in the Park DSP from the mini catalogue as my inspiration.Dazzling diamonds are used on a couple of the flowers to give it that sparkle, unfortunately it doesn't show that well in the photo.
Supplies:
Stamps: Petal Pizzazz and Oval All
Ink: Basic Grey and Whisper White
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Grey and Pink Pirouette
DSP: Walk in the Park
Other: Pink Pirouette ribbon, Dazzling diamonds,dimensionals,scalloped oval punch and snail.
All SU products.

Birthday wishes

Hi all, well what a strange day today waking up to a red sand storm. Not anything I've
experienced before. Cars are all covered and pathways. I'm glad no windows were left open.
Well moving on from that, I thought would post a Birthday card I sent to my sister in law. I think I used the nappy fold from splitcoaststampers.com to make this card and it was very easy. I used the Simply Scrappin' Kit "Sweet Nothings" for the papers too.

Supples:
Stamps were: For A Friend - Birthday Wishes and Embrace Life
Textured Cardstock: Pink Pirouette,Riding Hood Red,Chocolate Chip
DSP: Sweet Nothings
Scallop Punch
Riding Hood Red ribbon, Pewter hardware and Creamy Caramel marker pen.
Dusk pink pearls-not SU
I think that gives you the idea of what was used for me to make this card and it was a hit.
Enjoy

Michelle

Blogging on the backburner.

Sorry bloggers for being absent for quite awhile, but visitors are among us and life has been very busy entertaining them whilst they are here.
Not much in the way of cards being done, so hopefully after they have been and gone I can get back into the swing of things.
I will be off air after my op in the middle of October, and will try to catch up when I can.
Thanks for looking.

Magnolia Down Under Challenge No:21

Here is my version of the challenge.

I did go bold and bright this time. Not usually me, but I thought I would go outside the square.

The patterened paper is from Glitz, Tombow Pink and Yellow pens. Cameo Pink ink from SU, so is the stamp FOR YOU. I coordinated the flowers, ribbons and brads with the same pink and yellow theme.

To join in with the challenge make sure you have a look at Magnolia Down Under

Thanks for looking.

Roses are Blue

Hi everyone.Forgive me, but it has been awhile. My husband and I went away to Melbourne for the weekend last week and it has taken quite awhile to get back into the swing of things since then. We went without children, which is so rare and I haven't been to Melbourne since I was a kid.( All those many years ago.)
Now the card I made here was a thank you card for a Workshop not so long ago and I thought the colours used on a rose were very different.
See what you think.


The stamps used are A Rose is A Rose and Best Yet.Cardstock used was Chocolate Chip, Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Kiwi Kiss and Whisper White. I also used the scalloped oval punch with the large oval punch that comes from the new Mini Catalogue.
Thanks for looking.
